How the 62-28 model number is decoded
In the large-bore 6200-series, the bore is written directly after the slash as 28 mm (large thin-section bores use the slash spelling instead of the two-digit code). The envelope is 28×58×16 mm (1.102×2.283×0.63 in) with a 15.0 mm radial section height, C 16.8 kN, C0 9.5 kN and Pu 0.405 kN. The open 62/28 carries no shields or seals and relies on application lubrication and external sealing. Limiting speed 16000 r/min, catalogue mass 170 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- conveyor drives
- fans and blowers
- agricultural equipment
- garden machinery
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear when the open arrangement is used without external seals
- lubricant starvation where no regreasing interval is maintained
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded
- brinelling from static overload or hammer blows during mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Catalogue ratings for 62-28 (C 16.8 kN, C0 9.5 kN) are SKF figures from PUB BU/P1 17000; geometry revisions can change ratings without changing the designation, so keep the catalogue edition with the specification.
- The fatigue load limit is 0.405 kN; it feeds the equivalent-mean-load check, not the basic life calculation — do not substitute one for the other.
- Open 62-28 needs external sealing at the arrangement level; in dusty housings its life depends entirely on those external seals and the regreasing schedule.
- Plan a relubrication interval for 62-28; run-to-failure on open deep-groove bearings is the dominant early-failure cause.
- Mount by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) — driving 62-28 home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
- The fatigue load limit is 0.405 kN; it feeds the equivalent-mean-load check, not the basic life calculation — do not substitute one for the other.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 62-28?
The SKF 62/28 measures 28 mm bore × 58 mm OD × 16 mm width (1.102 × 2.283 × 0.63 in), mass about 170 g. It is open, with no shields or seals.
Why is there a slash in the designation 62/28?
The slash writes a bore that falls outside the two-digit code table: 62/28 means 28 mm bore. The site slug 62-28 replaces the slash with a hyphen.
What load can 62-28 take?
Catalogue values for 62/28: dynamic C 16.8 kN, static C0 9.5 kN, fatigue limit Pu 0.405 kN. Use C in life calculation and C0 for static checks at 28 mm bore.
What is the speed rating of 62-28?
SKF lists a 26000 r/min thermal reference speed and a 16000 r/min mechanical limiting speed for 62/28; real limits also depend on lubrication and fits.
